What to Expect in Alcohol Rehab

Alcohol rehab is the best way for an alcoholic to get sober. During this treatment both their psychological and physical addiction is addressed. This can take place in one of two settings.

What Alcohol Abuse Treatment Is

Simply defined, alcohol abuse is the habitual misuse of alcohol. This substance affects people in different ways. While some can enjoy a glass of wine in a social setting without any problems, others can’t. When you drink alcohol too much or too often you may have a problem.

Stress Caused Me to Drink and I Regret That

I can honestly say that stress caused me to drink. My life was always chaotic, and that mounting stress led me to want to escape everything. The drinking helped at first, or so I thought. What I didn’t see was the stress that the drinking was actually adding to my life. Looking back, I can clearly see how the stress compounded itself exponentially. At the time, it just seemed like each night I got the opportunity to escape my misery.

My Grandmother Had a Stroke and That Led Me to Luxury Rehab

I never would have guessed that a loved one getting sick would have led me to luxury rehab. However, that’s just what happened. My grandmother raised me. She was my world, when my world fell apart. When I was 8 year old, my parents split up, and I was forced to live with my mother. I’ll say, her and I never got along, so I stayed with my grandmother other than when I could see my dad. When she had a stroke, my addiction came to the forefront. She needed a caregiver, and I was in no position to be…

I Spent Too Much Money on Alcohol

It took me four years to realize that I was spending too much money on alcohol. I was a small business owner, but made more than I had ever expected when I opened. This meant I found myself “treating myself” far more often than I should have. First, it was trying out expensive wines. Then top brand brandy, rum, and whiskey. What can I say?

From Functional Alcoholic to Devoted Parent

I was a functional alcoholic for most of my adult life, aside from the half of my pregnancy that I knew about. I would drink when I got home from work to unwind and get ready to sleep, and it wasn’t just like a beer or two. I’d stop at the liquor store 5 or 6 days each week, and that was totally alright by me. When I lost my husband and daughter because of my drinking, I was even alright with that. I never realized what I was missing.
